Obituary
Kathy Morris
September 20, 1938 – February 17, 2020
She left us on Family Day; appropriate because Mom was family to everyone. She was the hub/communication centre of the family; always wanting to keep everyone connected.
So on this day, we were all brought together by phone calls, emails and texts because of this beautiful sweet lady. “Mrs. Friendly Manitoba” as Dad deemed her – will be truly missed.
Mom and Dad met in their teens and spent many happy years together. They were fortunate to celebrate their 60th Wedding Anniversary last July with family and friends.
Mom’s career was multifaceted; from making milk shakes as a teen to customer service at The Bay cash office Unicity. In her 50’s, she embarked on a career we much appreciated and she was most natural with “Best Grandma!”
Her happiest times were with good friends at Bird River and watching her humming birds. Later she would have the most beautiful view on Netley Creek – able to observe all of the birds and wildlife she enjoyed so much.
Left to mourn are her husband Ray; children Christine (Heath), Keith (Jo-Anne) and Glen (Keri); grandchildren Magen (Gord), Dylan (Bailey), Ian, Emily, Jaeden, Galen, Ethan and Henry; great- granddaughters Tara and Kaiya; brothers Rollie (Sandie) and Roger (Susan); sisters-in-law Sheila, Marg and Lily, brother-in-law Des, life-long friends Don and Olive, Ann and Gerry, Shirley.
She was predeceased by her parents Art and Alice Cook; siblings Anne, Alice, Edward and Mickey; nephews Kevin and Scott.
We would like to thank the staff at Selkirk Regional Health Centre, Interlake Home Care, the first responders, Dr. Albak and Dr. Brown – the care from everyone was exceptional. We will never forget your kindness.
In lieu of flowers donations to a charity of one’s choice.
Funeral Mass will be held at St. Charles Roman Catholic Church, Winnipeg, MB, on Thursday, February 27 at 11:00 a.m.
A Mass of remembrance will be held at St. Anne’s Parish in Petersfield at a later date.
Condolences may be left on her tribute wall at www.gilbartfuneralhome.com
Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk in care of arrangements.
